Public event with Neve Gordon, Professor of Human Rights Law at Queen Mary University of London, hosted by HCRI.
THE TALK
Human beings torn to pieces. Children buried under the rubble. Entire neighbourhoods flattened. Israel’s genocide in Gaza could have been prevented, but many governments across the globe chose to turn a blind eye, become complicit or even participate in the onslaught.
In this talk, Neve Gordon discusses the work of The Gaza Tribunal, which was set up to uncover Britain’s complicity in the defining crime of our age.
Bringing together original testimony from Palestinian survivors, journalists, human rights campaigners, legal experts and whistle-blowers, Gordon describes the work of this groundbreaking inquiry, the evidence it revealed, and the significance of an urgent call for accountability.
THE SPEAKER
Neve Gordon is a professor in the school of law at Queen Mary University of London and is a Fellow of the British Academy of Social Sciences.
